ptr-91 for shtf

Thinking about getting a PTR91 GI model, what are your thoughts? Owners of a PTR91, what common mods have you done? Should I spend another $300-$400 and just get an AR10? Or should I spend another $600-$700 and buy a Springfield M1A? Or is the PTR91 a good rifle for the money?

When giving thought to my caliber selection, I have considered that in a martial law scenario, one might have the need to disable a vehicle using small arms. I have heard a .308 is capable of cracking an engine block but have never seen it as it is inheritantly dangerous and expensive. 1) Can...

So, with doomsday just around the corner I've been looking for an appropriate rifle. I've hunted with a bolt action .308 since age 12 and already have a decent stock of ammo and reloading supplies. I like what I see in the PTR-91 with a 16 inch barrel. Never shot one but I hear the recoil is...

I took the PTR GI to the range yesterday and did some offhand shooting while standing unsupported and prone. I was also function testing the 20 magazines I bought from Cheaper Than Dirt, so I loaded several of them with 2-3 rounds at first to make certain they'd feed and such. Here's the first...

I made another thread on the MSR a few days ago, but there's some new models coming out aswell, several aimed at the mil-spec purist perspective, a couple SBRs, and of course, my favorite thus far, the MSR. Also, it is confirmed that PTR has redisgined the PTR32 in 7.62x39 soviet. It will...

:D:http://centerfiresystems.com/AKAGUN-VEPR-54R.aspx This is a brand spanking new product improved Russian Dragunov. These are quite probably superior in accuracy to the original military issue dragunov. These are 7.62x54 guys!:D:

I'm lookn for a one n done gun! The ptr91 gi! I dnt wanna buy a lottery ticket, win sum loose sum! Has the ptr91 gi worked out their problems where I will still b smiling aftr 3000 rounds or will it spend more time in the shop than the field? I dnt wanna b worried bout buying the right or wrong...

My question is certainly one that's been asked before, however the search function is weak and I didn't find it by flipping back a page or two. So bear with me... What is an inexpensive, legitimate option for a MBR(main battle rifle) that is NOT an AR? At this point in my life a 1300 dollar...

If your ONLY two choices for a personal AR/MBR (gotta cover your bases for the nit-pickers) were the Armalite AR-10 16" Carbine or the PTR91 Squad Carbine 16" which would you choose and what would be your decision factors?

I'm really looking for a SHTF durable battle rifle. Preferably a G3 model. I started digging around and found the PTR-91 GI, with a mil-spec chamber for proper feeding/function. Anyone have any experience with them before I commit to buying one?

Ok, so for the past few years my MBR has been a converted saiga 7.62x39. Which in it's own right isn't a bad thing at all. I love AK's. The design just works. All be it a some what stolen design. I am pretty hardcore into weapons history. So seeing where all modern select fire magazine fed...

I'm currently trying to decide on a MBR. Initially .308 was the only caliber I considered, and from there it was the typical M1A, FAL, PTR, Saiga debate. Now I'm backtracking a bit and wondering if 7.62x54R might offer some more options. My initial budget is limited to $1000, and I had been...

This is actually a repost from another militaryfirearm forums, but those guys are heavily biased towards the CETME, and I wanted to see what a different group (and from the forum posts I have read here, I think it is more PTR favored) had to say: -------- PTR-91 GI ($900) vs CETME ($500). What...

So, I was quoted today for two different PTR 91's. The squad/scout version with a top rail and a railed handguard for 1399, and the same version without the two rails on it for 1199. I've never bought a PTR before but this seems a little pricey. I think i could swing it right now, but was...

Thinking real hard about adding one of these to our battery, to those of you that own one how are they? How about mags, aluminum or steel? I'm an AK guy but we need to add a longer reaching auto to our loadout and this one fits the bill.

Im looking at a friends HK 91 he has for sale. I dont know a lot about them and have done some research but want some first hand experience. Reliable? Accurate? Robust? I need to know some things before I plunk down an amount of cash. It is built on a Hesse receiver with green furniture. Im...

What is the cheapest semi-automatic 7.62x51 rifle with a QD magazine that is suitable for combat? I've looked into the Springfield M1A(M14) but the price ($1500) is just too much. I've also looked at the AR-10 (and Panther Arms version) since I'm very familiar with the M-16, but it's similarly...

I had to have this on in 308.. Should be a fun shooter too..

I was thinking of getting a PTR91 GI/F. From what I can tell the flutes are less pronounced in the F models, and prevent the use of tar sealed ammo, but the F model is said to be more actuate. I have a DMR - both the FNAR and KAC SR-15 (yea 5.56 doesn't really count), and a CQB - SOCOM-II...
